Maiden Race 1600m
LIKE FATHER (9) just missed last time when second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has performed well at this shorter trip in the past. Great chance to score. GEMMA (14) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten only one length after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ALVIA (6) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, an improvement on his first-up seventh at Nakayama Dirt the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAINS POINT (7) is a well bred three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Maurice from Flor De Cerezo who has produced plenty of winners. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race. |
